The 2024 Hillman Prize will be given to a reported story or series published or broadcast in 2023. Eligible entries include reporting in newspapers, magazines and online, as well as television, radio and podcasts, tablets and multimedia. Entries must have been published in Canada and/or have been widely accessible to a Canadian audience. Self-published work is not eligible.

The Canadian Hillman Prize winner(s) will be awarded a $5,000 honorarium and a certificate at our event to be held in-person in Toronto on Thursday Aptil 4, 2024.
